South Africa is getting an ‘extra’ public holiday this week

In 2024, there will be 14 public holidays, including an additional day off tomorrow to celebrate a public holiday that falls over a weekend.

This extra day off is made possible by a provision in the Public Holidays Act 36 of 1994, which allows for the observance of a public holiday that falls on a Sunday to be moved to the following Monday. Of the 12 public holidays provided for by the act, Youth Day falls on a Sunday this year, meaning that because of Section 2 of the act, the holiday will be observed tomorrow.In a change from previous years, all public schools – both inland and at the coast – will follow the same term calendar in 2024.There is no longer a difference between inland and coastal schools breaking up and returning to school, as was previously the case.

To note: Inland provinces are the Free State, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West, while the coastal provinces are the Eastern Cape, KZN, Northern Cape and Western Cape. Term 4: October 1 to December 11
